Every Day Counts

Did you know…?

  • Every day your child is in school counts towards their success.
  • Children are at school 190 days a year which is 39 weeks
  • Children are at home 175 days a year for holidays and weekends,

  • Missing one day every fortnight will mean your child has missed 20 days of learning which equals 4 school weeks missed.
  • Missing 1 day a week equates to two school months
  • Being late or missing time to take term time holidays or making  appointments within school time has an impact.

How we can work together?

  • Ensure your child comes to school every day they can.
  • Try to make appointments out with school hours where possible.
  • Avoid term time holidays where possible.
  • Don’t worry if your child becomes unwell we will contact you and send them home, Sore tummies can be soothed at school and often get forgotten about once they are in school.
  • Phone, email or use the app to register when your child is absent, as if you do not let us know the cause of absence, it is recorded as unauthorised.
  • Contact the office by phone or email for advice or to discuss an issue impacting attendance.
  • We will letter and call you when attendance becomes a concern.

We want the best for the children and families here at Galston Primary and if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you.
